Study
Tour is a recreational trip the students and school students to gain additional
knowledge directly from the field. The trip itself is actually a study tour
will be helpful when selecting a educational tour. Why helpful? Because the
study tour will make an open mind and female students about education in
outdoor areas.
Benefits
study tour include:
- Provide resources to enrich the factual information contained in the book, and create text in a book to be meaningful. Sometimes just by reading a book alone will feel tired and can not penetrate it uruh explanation in the book. Study tours provide solutions to this problem, because it can plunge into the field to see or observe the learning objects.
- Develop an attitude of curiosity and broaden understanding Study tour which is a program of student learning directly into the field, the look and observe automatically arise curiosity and desire for more ask for not being able to explain the observed phenomenon directly in the field.
- Provide experience through objects, places, situations, and relationships between people that can not be provided in class. Not all the events and learning objects can be presented in the classroom, and therefore the study tour can solve this problem through direct research spaciousness.
- Sharpen environmental awareness. By direct observation of learning objects into the environment will be more familiar characteristic and distinctive environmental characteristics in accordance with the object under study.
- Introduce me about the possibility of job or career field that I can enter the line with my ideals. Study tours can foster a sense of interested students to the object being observed, after I finished the activities will be mainly looking out to satisfy his interest in the object being observed. That leads me to work according to my field of interest when observing the objects.
- Combining classroom with the latest community and environment greater and more meaningful. By going directly to the field will be more integrated with the new community outside the classroom so that there will be new things that is interesting and unique.
- Deepen intimacy with friends in the classroom and training cooperation between students in a group. When the study tour lasted me see new things exciting, new things I will share with friends.

The density of the learning situation in the classroom and also boredom on the environment from day to day just that-it just made me become saturated. By holding study tour will provide relaxation and refreshment in the middle density monotonous learning in the classroom.
I am very motivated in participating in this year's study tour. Korea is
a country that is on the rise and I am very curious about the Korean nation, as
a culture, a lifestyle, a way of talking, ways to interact with each other,
attitude and others. I look forward to the trip to Korea for 8 days, I can
understand the true state of Korea.
Korea is a country very well-known fashion. When I was in Korea, I was
amazed by them. They are very orderly and clean. There is no garbage on the
streets, orderly driving, crossing the road in place, smoking in place. Their
unique language made me like being in a Korean drama scene. They have a
distinctive call according to their age. The word "anneyong" can only
say to those who are already familiar. If we say the word "anneyong"
by people who do not know, it's not polite. Often we hear the word "oppa"
which means calling someone younger to older people, but it is only for those
who are already familiar with.
I visited two very famous university in Korea, namely Sogang University and Seoul Institute Of The Arts. Sogang University, founded by the Society of Jesus in 1960, is the only
Jesuit higher educational Institution in Korea. In spite of its relatively
short history, Sogang University has established its place as one of the top
universities in Korea.
There are 26 majors and 9 interdisciplinary programs offered in the
undergraduate program with 8.100 students and 415 full-time, tenure-track
professors. The are 12 graduate schools including professional and special
graduate schools with a student enrollment of 4.000 in the master’s and
doctoral programs. Around 3.000 foreign students study annually at Sogang
University in various academic programs.
Recognized for its high standards for quality education, Sogang
University boasts the highest rate of graduate employment in major corporations
in Korea with over forty thousand alumni working in influential positions in
various areas of society. In its efforts to
make the campus more international, Sogang University offers the best service
to foreign students in order to make their stay at Sogang as pleasant and
memorable as possible.
Seoul Institute of Arts, the
founding statement pursued by Seoul Institute of the Arts to nurture Korea’s
greatest artists is as follows: “We shall inherit the spirit and traditions of
our country's art and culture and then spread them far and wide. Also, we shall
pave the way to discover unexplored forms of art through production and
experimentation. We shall nurture emerging artists through production of
original work and specialized training to creatively pursue new art forms and
gain independent identity and globalization. The truth and beauty these artists
realize will ultimately contribute to our country's culture and furthermore to
the world’s culture.”
Chi-Jin Yoo devoted his
life to awaken the stagnant art world of Korea at that time. To lay the foundation,
he established the Research Society for the Dramatic Arts in 1931. In 1962, he
founded the Drama Center, the Korean Theater Research Institute, and the
Theater Academy, all of which have evolved to become Seoul Institute of the
Arts of today.
Art is our oldest cultural
heritage and our nation has its own unique national art just like other nations
in the world. However, our society did not understand art and so a great deal
of time passed during which art did not develop, and accordingly among the
three countries of Korea, China and Japan, unfortunately our art is the most
behind and out of date. The reason I established the Korea Art Research Center
was to overcome this situation and raise the standard of our national art in
the world. Art resources and information should be managed to this end.
The Drama Center, School
and Library at the Korea Art Research Center will perform the duties mentioned
above, both together and separately. Many students who want to study art, and
capable professors and artists have gathered at the Center. Therefore, I'm very
hopeful for the future: this has been my dream since I was young; my dream and
also the dream of my art comrades. It is my sincere desire that this dream
transforms the Center into a cornerstone in the fostering of our national art.
The development goals of
Seoul Institute of the Arts (SeoulArts) to promote the Founding Statement are
as follows:
1.
Global Creative Environment for Korean Arts to
Meet the World
With cutting edge
technologies, the world continues to grow smaller. SeoulArts is dedicated to
pursue the universal truth and environmentally friendly creative endeavors
while building a global learning environment to share our art with the world.
2.
Collaboration, Circulation, and Integration
In the 21st Century, the arts are evolving with
various fields coming together. We are living in the era where all arts
infinitely expand their territory beyond boundaries. To stay ahead, we will
expand the major studies and offer intensive programs through collaboration,
circulation, and integration.
3.
Strengthening Industry-Academy Cooperation for
the Integration of Schools, and Society
SeoulArts
produces artistic projects not only within the school but also with the related
industries outside of the school. We will continue to establish ties to support
our incubating system that brings the faculty together with industrial experts
to support our students’ research and business activities in various fields of
art.
4.
Integrating Art with Science
In today’s digital age, cutting edge technologies
are being applied to all the arts. Our educational system is designed to
recognize the latest developments in arts production and implement them for the
students.
The characteristics and
educational orientation of Seoul Institute of the Arts are stated clearly and
concretely in our Missions and Goals. The purpose of the establishment,
philosophy, educational goals, vision, and strategies for improvement of the
Institute.
The School Corporation,
Dongnang Arts Foundation, inherited the spirit and achievements of Chi-Jin Yoo
and established Seoul Institute of the Arts in order to promote our national
culture in the world, one that unites the national spirit with the worldwide
universality rooted in Korean traditional art. To embody this, it stated its
philosophy and educational goals and declared vision and strategies.

5.
Facility Visit and a
demonstration of how a news program is produced
Korean
tradition becomes a new thing for me. Korean students are very friendly and the
technology they have very sophisticated. The facilities they have are also very
complete. Visit tour that we do, not just on campus alone, outside the campus
such as MBC Wolrd and Samsung Delight very good. They strongly supported the
products they create and are very proud of it. Most Koreans wear their homemade
products is Samsung. In the subway, Koreans wear their gadgets to read comics
online and tv for wifi in Korea is available and has a signal is available everywhere,
making it easier for them to access the internet. The Korean people are very
surprised to learn that the country of Korea is booming in Indonesia. They even
do not know the country of Indonesia.
Each presentation made at Sogang University and SIA
are very nice. At SIA, there are subjects in which they communicate with their
professors of different countries, using skype live. It was very pleasant, they
really use technology that they have. SIA is a university that focuses on the
arts, the number of rooms they have applying sophisticated technology and can
be operated by the students.
The difficulty I faced is that I could not speak and does not understand Korean so that when a taxi ride, I could not communicate with the taxi driver. And the Korean people there are some who do not understand English.
My conclusion for the Study
Tour this year is, I feel that we get to experience this country. Language
differences were very testing me during my stay in Korea. Korean tourist visits
fun and unique culture made me love this country. Electronic technology of
Korea kept me captivated the country and the first time I visited the developed
countries after Singapore, I think Korea is extraordinary, creating advanced
technologies and always proud of his creation.
